Narciss,,S

The fabulous story of Narcissus, as
related by Ovid, is that he was the son
Of Cephisus, one of the Grecian River
gods, and the nymph Liriope. He was
uncommonly beautiful and fell SO vio-
lently in love with himself on behold
ing his image in a fountain, that he
wasted away with desire, until he was
changed into the flower of the same
name. He was beloved by the nymph
Echo. In various ways this story has
been wrought in verse, this by Gay:
-Hore youns Nnr.issns DER the fountain stood,
And viewed his image in the crystal food
Tho crystal food reflects his lovely charms,
No nymrh his Inexperienced breast subdued,
Echo, ia vain, the fying boy pursued.
Himself a,on"; the foolish youth edmires,
Der the smooth lake with fruit ess tears he
grievea;
Through his pale veins green sap now gently
And in Z short-lived flower his beauty flows
The Narcissus is one of the most
popular of bulbs for forcing. Large
quantities OF it are raised for florists
use. The varieties most in demand for
this purpose are Paper White and the
Double Roman Narcissus; the ~Jonquil-
sare, also, largely used in this way.
Amateurs will find all the varieties Of
Polyanthns Narcissus exceedingly in
teresting and easily raised as pot plants.
The pure colors and the fragrance Of
these flowers are highly attractive and
pleasing. The varieties Of the Single
and Double Narcissas are quite hardy,
but the P~olyanthns varieties are tender
in this region in the open ground, and
require t. be we'll protected when
planted ont. They should be set in the
open border in the same manner a.
Tulip bulbs. In potting them, place
one bulb in a five or six-inch pot. and
keep the neck of the bulb even with the
sur face Of the soil. and otherwise treat
the same as Hyacinths. Narcissus bulbs
can also be bloomed in water.-.r.ck's

The Ear.

Anatomists divide tho ear into the
external, the middle, and the internal
ear. The first consists Of the visible
external organ n cartilaginous and
fleshys structure, Of the form best
adapted to collect the atmospheric vi
brations, and the meatus or tubular
opening leading to the typanum, The
typanum is a firm fibrous membrane
stretched across the opening, whose Of
flee, as its name implies, is to communi-
cate vibrations like the head of a drum.
The middle ear is a cavity about the
form and size of a kidney bean; from
its lower point q tubular canal de-
sends to the side of the pharynx,
where it terminates in q trumpet-like
expansion; this canal is called the Eu-
stachian tube. Across the middle ear
is stretched q chain of three small
bones, connected with each other by
cartilage tendon. These are the
mafteus or mallet, the incus or anvil,
and the stdIes or stirrup. each named
from some fancied resemblance. The
office of this chain, which is attached to
the typanum at one end, and to the
membrane covering the tordmen opale
Mt the other, is to transmit the vibra-
tions of the air: to aid in this, they are
controlled by three minute muscles,
which serve to regulate the tension of
the membrane Of the typanum, and the
pressure of the stapes against the MEM
brane of the foramen ovale. The ill.,
ternal ear, also called the labyrinth, to
which the external and middle ear are
Int the ~ante-rooms, consists of the yes
tibrle, the three semi-circular canals,
aud the cochlea. The vestibule is an
irregular cavity shut out from the mid
die q by the membrane covering the
foramen ovale, and communicating with
the semi-circular canals in five open
ings, two of these canals being Joined
at one end. The cochlea is a bcny
structure resembling in structure a
snail shell; internally it is divided by a
lamina, bony, l~igamentous, and muscu-
lar, into two cavities, which commnni-
cate at the top of the cochlea in q
curved channel. The bony axis of the
cocblea has numerous orifices, through
which pass the filaments of the auditory
nerve. The whole internal ear is lined
with n delicate Serious membrane, con-
tanning a fluid called perilymph. In
the vestibular portion is found q crys-
talline powder, the Office Of which is
supposed to be to communicate the vi
brations to the surfaces. The
internal and middle ear are situated
wholly within the temporal bone, which
is here much thicker and harder than
elsewhere, in order to protect the deli
cate and complicated structure from
injury. The form of the external a
varies materially in different races of
men. While c%ongentail deafness is
usually the result of deficiency or NAL
formation of some portion Of the organ,
accidental deafness usually arises from
mucous secrations, tie result of inflam-
nation, clogging, or t~bickening the
membranes Of the middle ear, or ulcer
alton attacking the little bones and
causing their discharge; inflammation
of the serous membrane of the laby-
rinth; or paralysis of the auditory
nerve. The r of complete deafness
is exceedingly rare.--Toledo Blade.

OWE OF sEW nExICOs BURIED TOXINS.

O.N4 w u
A few days ago two prospectors while
wandering over the foothills east OF the
city accidentally stumbled on signs of prev
ious habitation buried under heaps of sand
which had been drifted by the winds OF
years. Having selected a point Mt which
to make an excavation, they went to work
with a will, and in a few hours had reach
ed the floor of q small chamber in the
form of a parallelogram. They found the
remains of several human beings, several
handsome vases carved with geometrical
figures in different colors, stone axes,
hampers, pieces of cloth apparently man
ufactured from the fibre of the yucca;
several strings of beads and an abund-
ance Of fragments of obsidian quartz,
and an incredible quantity of pieces of
broken pottery, including several with q
blue glazing. Only in n other instance
have we ever heard of this color and quail
ity of ware having been discovered in this
territory, and that was at the ancient
pueblo near the Santa Rita in this coun-
try, and it indicates that the Spaniards had
lived in New Mexico before the extinc-
ton of the race who inhabited this ruined
and buried village.-Socorro Bullion.

ED SALE Is ENCOUNTERED
BY A ROBBER,
And Uses His Knife Oh Him.

Sunday night rs Mr.. Ed Sale was going to
his home, which is north Of the city, near
the old Texas State Fair Grounds, he no.
ticed man following him ut some distance
and apparently attempting to ovcrtakc him.
They were walking on the Central load, and
the ties flew back, faster and faster, until
Sale says he was almost In a run. The man
overlook him near the long bridge, this side
of Mr.. Coles residence, and commanded
him TO hold up and pony up. He said to
Sale that he was the very man he was look
ing for, and ordered an immediate dis
gorgement. Sale had taken out and opened
his pocketknifc on seeing the man APP
proach, and when the would-be
robber caught him by one Of
his arms with rude clutch, Mr..
Sale brought the other hand around and
ripped u long cash in the highwayman's
side and stomach. 1t may have cut only
his clothing, but Mr.. Sale thinks that IT did
more, MS the man released his grasp, fell
back upon the track and acted liko per-
son severely hurt. The robber was white
man, but wore a masque which con-
cealed most of his face. Nothing has been
heard of him, but it is very probable that a
search in some quarter Of the city might be
rewarded by find equal TO Marshal Arm
old's visit to Hot Springs.
